You know what I hate? People who don't use understandable English on the internet. I'm not one of those picky bastards that go around "you mispelled that word" or anything like that. I'm talking about this:
"omg why ud tell sum1 dat? dat's not kewl dawg!!!11"
I think a line should be drawn when it comes to this type of sentence structure. There is a reason why people want you to type a certain way Mr. Rebel. Know why? It would be nice to get a clear idea of what you're saying. You don't need to type like some gramatical genius...for but for Christ's sakes make it legible. I strain my vision any time I visit a forum directed at teenagers. I think I have several eye spasms...my brain was so fried I forgot.
There really isn't a point to this column other than learn how to fucking type you idiot. If you ever want to stroll down to the official Slipknot board, you'll be greeted with the prime example of complete idiocy. Go there. I dare you. I don't think you'll like to be greeted by the likes of SLITWRISTS666 or KILLME420ALLDAYLONGBITCHESPECIALLYONWEEKENDS.
In turn, sentence structure and halfway decent spelling aren't the only issues to be resolved. There's always the struggle of learning popular lingo. I've comprised a list of things that irritate the living hell out of me. I often hear these words in real life too. That's right...this stupidity isn't exclusive to cyber-land USA. I made a list in fact. Violate it, and you'll know why I'm not responding to you. In fact, I think I'll just send you the URL to this picture. It'll be pretty self-explanitory.
